People Matters-DDI Emerging HR leaders award 2015

Winning always is very sweet and encouraging! You must enjoy it! I am more glad for you because you are very few chosen ones for creating, shaping the future of HR leadership! Welcome to the world of change!

With the falling number of winners (who could qualify) for this award. (See picture. ), I greet this result with great dismay that, are we actually/really down the hill in terms of producing HR leaders year on year? In 2012, the number was 25, 2013, it was 21, 2014-18 and now 2015 (announced on 22 Jan 2016) isjust 16.

What do you think could be the reasons?

A few assumptions I make, are as below-

1. Quality of assessment has gone up over the years.

2. Quality of applicants have gone down over the years.

3. It is by design and set to be like this, by PeopleMatters/DDI

4. Corrections made by PeopleMatters/DDI after assessing how their winners of past 3 years; did they really emerge as leaders as expected?

The Hay Group Total Reward FrameworkA new way of understanding rewardReward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions.

The issueRemuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] .The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with non-financial rewards …

TV Rao's article in TOI Ascent, Feb 13, had some interesting discussion on 5 levels of HR Managers, based on what they do. I just created my own metrics and placed my descriptions in columns called, "Level of work", Hierarchy level' and "Action proposed". I urge you to look at the Level 5 Definition of Jim Collins and check what is missing at all the levels of HR of TV Rao is, "Leadership". Things will be very different if Leadership is added at all the levels.

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework
The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives!
Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking!

If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular!
